Speedo correction chart.
I did a search on this because I DID see a link in a post on a chart that told you how much your speedo would be out if you had a differtent size tire than what was on it new.
Wow is there ever a lot of info on this site! Unfortunatly I did not see what I was looking for. I'm sure I'm not calling it by the right name or something.
Here's the deal. Sticker on drivers door says 215/75R15. I had 225 and 235's on it and have just gone back to 225s till I can get some 30s that I like. Annnnnnyway I'm driving down the highway and my speedo says 115 (about 70 mph for my american cousins) and even the transport trucks are passing me!! And they are supposed to be governed at 105!
So I need a chart to tell me how much SLOWER I seem to be going. I mean the gas milage is great but........

Makes no sense. You should be going faster with larger tires.
Speedo will read slower then you are actually going.

None of those links help and I searched your name superj and didn't find that thread.
it was a simple calculation. you typed in the stock tire size and then your new tire size and it told you how far out your speedo was.
Anyone?

that should be it. when you put in your tire sizes, it also tells you how off it reads beneath it. mine reads 11% off going from 215/75/15 to 31s
